Re: file too large, segmentation fault

Hi All:

I am trying to restore a database on a different machine (7.2.3 on Sol9
to 7.2.4 RH8), and i get the following error, that i haven't seen
before:

-bash-2.05b$ pg_restore -d access -Ft -a access.dump.tar
pg_restore: [tar archiver] could not open TOC file for input: File too
large
Segmentation fault
-bash-2.05b$

-bash-2.05b$ ls -l
total 2339148
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2323785216 Nov 23 22:43
access.dump.tar

The only thing i did different in this restore is that i had created two
groups in the template1 because the schema needed it and the pg_dump of
the schema would not do it..so i used pg_dumpall.

I read somewhere that there's a patch for this:

Will this patch fix it? Where do i get it from and how do i apply it?


Thanks in advance,
